Spring is finally here and although there are sun-filled days ahead, there will be plenty of rainy days in store. Denverites of all ages have a wide range of activities to choose from while trying to stay dry.

The snow is melting and summer is just around the corner. Admit it, parents. Spending the day surrounded by zoo animals and butterflies or soaking up the Mile High sun at the baseball park is just about as fun for the grown-ups as it is for the kids.

Warm days and crisp nights make fall the perfect time to explore the heart of Colorado – Denver. Visitors to the downtown Denver area will experience science and butterflies mixed with microbrews and roller coasters, and bring home memories of the amazing Mile High City.
